CN Kickoff Group B: JD Gaming vs Titan Esport Club

JDG Brief Information: ⅘ Rare Atom core plus jkuro. Very strong team, definitely top 5 in China. They were favorites to win Ascension but fell short to DRG. They’ve also 2-0’d EDG which is an achievement.

TEC Brief Information: A team that has the potential to be great. They were created recently and beat BLG within a month of playing together. Abo is a great IGL* and having signed Rb from DRX, they’re looking to be a force to be reckoned with.

JDG Players to Watch: Always watch stew and Viva, but it’ll be interesting to see how jkuro gels with the RA core.

TEC Players to Watch: Rb. Who wouldn’t? Abo as well.

Prediction: JDG will probably win 2-0 but it’ll still be an interesting series to watch.

edit: IGL*

Surely RB is on the starting lineup

abo is not igl igl is black

Jdg will win but I think it’s possible for TEC to make it close

If rb is good he shows it now and cook stew.

LockM should play instead of shameless imo

Regardless, JDG 2-0

Could've sworn Abo was IGL during CN Evo? I might be wrong though.

Yo hear me out, TEC actually have 4 really good players. I've been thinking about who will be on the starting five for like an hour, I expect that they will run:

Rb: Duelist (?)
LockM: Main initiator
Qiuye: Flex (incl. Iso, KayO & Cypher)
kawaii: Controller
Abo: Sentinel (incl. Viper, not Cypher)

If so, I think they 2-1 JDG, also Abo and Rb's roles could be swapped, though I don't think it'll make too much of a difference - IGLing on duelist isn't optimal but it's worked for them tbf. Either way I believe in the upset, Abo make me proud

TEC 2-1 JDG
If LockM is playing

Check TEC's tweet, Rb is sentinel, Abo is duelist

Oh nice

Rb cooks JDG or JDG cooks TEC

Rooting for TEC solely because that rap went kinda hard

RB will play good but Stew will play better

JDG 2-0 TEC

Who is JDG igl?
Since yoman is not with the team, I'm wondering. Is it jkuro?

Stew will grill the fuck out of rb's ass

This is gonna be 3 maps game. 100%

Qiuye is cracked wtf

TEC are looking crazy good

6-3 6-13

Now people know how important yoman's igl is

Chinese venue and production look super clean ngl

JDG got scammed by RA

RA look lost on first map. Basically stew vs 9. Also I feel like viva not comfortable on viper lol

RA always have been frauds

TEC vs DRX Masters Madrid I will be there no matter what

6x2 for 8x13 ok its 2x0

No yoman - no party.

VIVA saving his ult for next match lol

Honestly, I should've seen it coming, because TEC core did take out a semi-strong BLG within just 1 month of getting together. I still think that JDG stood a very good chance before the series began and probably should've played better.

Never really thought Rare Atom's roster was really that great...... This match kinda proves it.

Rare Atom's roster was too dependant on stew and yoman that this team would be out of the top 5 CN teams if stew didn't stay.

It's also illegal that stew and yoman didn't get signed to Dplus. Easily Ascension grand finalist if they were on Dplus.

They were very dependent on yoman's calling it looks like, decision making was all over the place

Come on just first match after that long off season. Let's see their next match. Also other ra players didn't look that sharp today especially viva was struggling otherwise he was ra 2nd best player.

Stew needs help

wtfwtfwtfwtfwtf [#61]

great analysis, you were really close!

I've stated this many times, but I can say it again. I don't do in-depth analyses. I give previews of series and provide brief information about the teams, including who is the favorites to win and whatnot.

I don't think I was close, but thanks nonetheless! ❤️

Nongshim RedForce might actually benefit the most by winning the Yoman race.

JDG looked unstable and scared to go out and fight, which was pretty much what they were supposed to be looking at EVO + Ascension.

It was the LockM pickup that made me decide on TEC winning, he did incredible

Doubt Dplus has the money. They went with a super budget roster this season. Also probably better not sign with Dplus cause they'll contract jail players like exy currently

they looked like they had no strats lmao what

poor stew, dropping a whopper of a game and stll losing

wow. Stew is the real thing.

Lol honestly if jdg look this bad without yoman as igl then there's an argument to be made to pick yoman and another duelist.

Are there no Chinese igls that are still unsigned? Because I think stew is extremely strong and it would be tough to find a duelist better than him.

stew 1v9 ;-;

Viva looks good on stats and had some good clutches, but his mid-game position was horrible this series. Those weird positions during post plant makes him die in vain multiple times and his teammates just don't have the opportunity to trade him.

Martin just didn't bring his aim with him today, or maybe most of the time.

IMO Eko Sylvan and coldfish carries that TES roster...
